Chapter Twenty-Five

Ryan laced his fingers through Maiya’s when the house lights came up in the theatre. She looked more than stunning in the black dress she wore. It hugged her body like a glove. He loved staring at her in it, but he couldn’t wait to get her out of it.

She’d pinned her gorgeous red hair in a twist on the back of her head, and little curling tendrils hung down here and there, framing her face. Even with all her tattoo work, she looked…classy. In fact, he was sure the woman would make burlap look classy. He shook his head, smiling at the thought and looked at their joined hands.

“What are you smiling about?”

“Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?”

“Um, let me see.” She tilted her head to the side. “I think that makes the tenth time. Wait, maybe the eleventh.”

He raised their joined hands and kissed her fingertips. “Just checking.”

“Did you like the play?”

“I did. Did you?” He stood, pulling her up with him.

“I thought it was fantastic. Tiffany did a wonderful job.”

He cupped his hand behind her neck and pulled her close to him. “She did.” He paused, letting his gaze roam over her face. “I need to kiss you.”

He meant it too. It was a need, one he was powerless to deny. She stroked her warm fingers down his cheek, and the expression in her hazel eyes stole his breath. Emotion swirled within the flecks of gold and green. The most obvious being desire. But, fear, maybe even a little hope, was there too. And love. Was it love he recognized, or his own wishful thinking? Did he want her to love him?

She licked her lips and swallowed. “I’ll let you.”

Ryan stroked the side of Maiya’s neck with his thumb and then took her lips in a soft, unhurried kiss. She arched and gripped his arm when his tongue stroked over hers. The crowd around them milled up the aisles on their way to the exits, but none of them existed as he tasted her, swallowed her and sought for more.

Cupping both sides of her face in his hands, he deepened the kiss. He wanted this woman, more than he’d ever wanted a woman in his life. The thought startled him a little, but the need curling in his gut all night far surpassed any fear his mind held. Ryan pulled away, nipping at her bottom lip.

Maiya pressed her forehead to his, trembling. “That was one hell of a kiss.”

“Well, I missed you.” He kissed the tip of her nose.

She closed her eyes. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with you.”

“Take me back to your hotel room and you can do the first thing that comes to mind.” Pressing his hips against hers, he let her feel the consequence of their kiss.

“Rawrr. Did I do that?”

Taking her hand, Ryan led her up the aisle toward the exit. “Do you have any idea how many times I jacked off the past two weeks thinking of you?”

She stopped short, halting his forward motion.
